My navy Penguins have been cheered up no end as budget cuts due to my Penguin Air force accidently sinking their Carrier fleet due to a rather over entusiastic young Penguin who had only become sapient(1) 3 months before causing a rather large arial incidence meaning they've only had 5 small lifeboats to operate from which annoyed them no end Now with The Cuauhtemoc they can deal with the sea monster problem ... by the way keep Apprentice Overkill away from planes as we revoked his flying privilages because ... of a ... incodent involving ... noodles ... and due to being 6 months old he doesn't really listen to authoritie figures so just keep him away from planes.

Okay, the fic isn't going to win any awards, but it doesn't suck, either. The premise of the conflict is well laid out, everyone seems to be in character, and I don't see what's wrong with using diplomacy to solve problems.
Furthermore, I looked over your review and the author's response. I didn't read them fully, because your use of footnotes (and footnotes within footnotes) is, frankly, annoying. However, based on what I did read, your concerns were well-answered, and the responses make enough sense for me. As the author points out, the fic doesn't contain any more plotholes on average than SG-1 itself, so I don't think we need to be getting up in arms over it.
If you intend to hang around the Board with us, that's cool--you're quite welcome to do so--but please calm down and make an effort to spell, capitalize, and punctuate your posts properly in the future, preferably with paragraphs at appropriate intervals. And please, please ditch the footnotes.

Potential Problems, Potential solutions by

Language: English (change)
We might not be able to use Sun crushers due to the fact that there is a canon way to destroy stars(1) in the stargate universe meaning that we may have to get past a fleet of 12,000 (posibly 24,000) hat'ak mother ships(2) one of their ha’taks is easily a match for two System Lord flagships while their squadron flagships(3)could take on an Asgard vessel on even terms. their foot-soldiers have weaponry far superior to staff weapons(4). Seeing how out matched we are in terms of tech I have come up with a plan A, a Plan B, a plan C and a plan D .
Plan A requires we capture the Temple at Dakara(5) so that we can use the Dakara superweapon(6) in conjunction with the stargate network(7), then we use the weapon in its basic mode to destroy all matter on the 27 planets and the surrounding space, then we'll hide away for a few months so as to not be killed for killing 32 billion Mary Sues(8), while we hide away(9) we'll steal Asgard Black hole tech(10) then when the hunt for us dies down a bit(11) we'll use said tech (while ensuring no canons are in those solar systems) to turn one or more of the stars in to a black hole (depending how close the systems are). there are flaws to the plan as Dakara is an important planet(5) controlled by Baal meaning we have to take the system with out killing the canons which will be hard and then we'll have to put them somewhere safe so that when we trigger the Dakara superweapon from the nicely shielded control room they won't all be erased from existence.
If that fails we will have to go to plan B) taking control of the Ascension machine(14)so that we can Ascend say 27 Agents and then have them destroy the solar systems, of course we don't know if the Ascended have been affected by the mary sues and may/may not try and stop us(15).
If that fails we go to Plan C) we tell the Ori(17) about the existence of the Akkadian Commonwealth and hope that they can destroy them.
If the Ori lose the war(18) then we will be forced to go to plan D) FULL SCALE WAFARE against the Akkadian Commonwealth as Canon will be so Warped that we'll have to use everything at our disposal. To do so we shall bring the Attero device(19) to the Milky way galaxy, if we can we'll turn off the stargate network (with the exception of the Akkadian Commonwealths stargates) and then turn the Attero device on (regardless of whether the stargate network can be turned off) with it set to destroy Goa'uld Ha'taks, we'll wake up the Wraith and give them intergalactic hyperdrives and tell them about the Akkadian Commonwealth while detonating ZPMs(20) next to Akkadian Commonwealth stars basically the gloves will come off and we'll do whatever is in are power to restore stargate canon.
Hopefully Either someone will come up with a better plan or we'll succeed at plan A As plan B, C and D are filled with too much risk (not to say that plan A isn't risky but it's less likely to go horribly wrong)
(1) http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Vorashsun
(2) there is no distinguishment between normal ha’taks, Ha'taks enhanced with ancient weaponry and Anubis' mothership which is very very bad as the vagueness means they can basically rip to pieces any ship we could "borrow"
(3) never mind the fact that no one has enough hat'ak mother ships to have Squadrons!
(4) They appear to have guns but could be armed with other weapons
(5) http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Dakara
(6) <a href="http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Dakarasuperweapon">http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Dakarasuperweapon
(7)using a 'hack' of the DHD's correlative update function we'll dial every Stargate in the Akkadian Commonwealth simultaneously
(8) Unfortunately due to the massive canon alteration on such a large scale I calculate a 99.7% chance that the canon characters and civilisations will still all adore the Akkadian Commonwealth meaning that they will see are attack as a crime against humanity. we won't be able to move freely until we destroy the Akkadian Commonwealth systems and thus reset canon.
(9) possibly at head quarters
(10) <a href="http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Hala%27ssun">http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Hala%27ssun
(11) Due to Stargate Command decreased ability to plan, the mellowing of the Asgard(12) due to the Akkadian Commonwealth
(12) they said they weren't ruthless enough which is insane as the Asgard destroyed their own home world to stop the replicators(13)

(14) <a href="http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Ascensionmachine">http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Ascensionmachine (due to the fact that Agents who can pull off Spiritual Ascension are going to be very rare)
(15) even if they haven't been affected they may still have us follow the rules(16)

Help! 32 billion Mary sues! by
on 2009-07-08 03:43:00 UTC

Yes I know I'm new but this is an emergency so I appoligise if I should introduce myself first. Theres this Stargate fic on http://www.tthfanfic.org/ called Extinction Event where a Commonwealth called the Akkadian Commonwealth has a fleet of 12,000 hat'ak motherships but only has 27 planets and a population of 32 billion people to maintain this massive fleet ... which decides to wipe out all of the 6 billion people on earth due to the fact that The trust (Rogue organisation like section 31) killed three million one hundred and forty-six thousand people even though there is no way that this Commonwealth could know that it was the trust that attacked and that they from earth. Stargate command then instead of finding a way to defeat this fleet of ships that have no ancient technology yet can take on asgard ships so they decide to use diplomacy to stop this even though they have 4 months to come up with a solution. I have reviewed it (I'm AbscondingCascade) and pointed out the problems but I fear as one negative reviewer against a authour swelled by 39 mostly positive reviews that even though I contacted one of the sites stargate experts (the Author hotpoint) that this horor will endure. I provide A link to show the horror that is the stargat fanfic Extinction Event http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-19533/Speakertocustomers+Extinction+Event.htm .Please as Twisting the hellmouth is a buffy fanfiction site I fear that the majority of native site inhabitants who read it won't understand that the Akkadian comonwealth is a mary sue utopia of 32 billion mary sues with (at least) dozens of possesion sues inhabiting canon characters; Stargate canon cannot resist this foothold on the SGC. Please help.

Hi all!
This is a plea to all of you who speak Sinderin/have copies of LOTR etc handy.
I'm looking for a good name for a male Galadhrim. I'm taking part in a war games campaign this summer using a Lord of the Rings army and am trying to make it as fluffy as possible!
Any suggestions?

In a lot of the PPC'ings I've read the various agents have numerous minis. I already have Thriandruil the mini-balrog, so I can definitely waive my claim on one or both of the mini-aragogs.

Torchwood 5 New Zealand
The name says it all. The new zealand torchwood, my character is found by torchwood and joins them
Rated: T - English - Sci-Fi/Suspense - Chapters: 14 - Words: 2,527 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 7-6-09 - Gwen C. & Jack H.
Fourteen chapters, most of the ones I read weren't even long enough to be deserving of the name.
The Twilight Streets
Based on the awesome book by Gary Russell. Named: The Twilight Streets. Watch as Jack Harkness, brings along two teenage girls for the time of their lives, as they investigate, strange going-on’s in Cardiff.Full Summary inside.
Rated: K - English - Adventure/Mystery - Chapters: 12 - Words: 26,913 - Reviews: 7 - Updated: 7-6-09 - Published: 6-1-09
As far as I can tell, from what I read of it, it's a retelling of the Torchwood book 'The Twilight Streets', but with two Sues inserted. The first proper chapter is a retelling of the start of that book, with said Sues in Jack's place.

at first, anyway. On closer thoughts, while it is written well, I can't see Ginny ever serving Voldemort, however reluctantly. She'd help with the resistance. Besides, locating charms don't exist, at least, not like that. Otherwise, Deathly Hallows would have been a very short book. So I'd have to say badfic.
